watching fire engines and ambulances speed around. happy throw wet turkey into hot oil day

thankful that voters justified my cautious optimism about American democracy

@pratik@microblog.pratikmhatre.com and covering of women

@Spinybadger there's also a global tendency to normalize a lot of human rights abuses under the justification of religion

just spit balling this: perhaps we need to give countries an opportunity to improve their human rights record before allowing them to host a world cup tournament

americans will analyze sporting contests with more academic rigor than the connection between hate speech and violence

me: hate speech is bad

twitter: lol cry more lib

mastodon: so..is speech hating on hate speech also hate speech, I’m just saying

moral of the story: you can change your social media platform but you really can't escape privileged white goofy goofs

@obi lol ok

@obi hate speech, consequences of hate speech. hope that helped.

point: Twitter is a Nazi playground owned by a sociopathic CEO who’s going to platform terrorists that will eventually unleash political violence
counter-point: Twitter is still a voice for underprivileged, underrepresented communities, charities, animal shelters and small businesses

@obi

the normalization of hate speech leads to violence. no matter how much fascists try to hide behind “the marketplace of ideas” or “freedom of speech” this is a fact. hold these motherfuckers accountable for their complicity.

the gop has already lost Pennsylvania in the 2024 election. probably Michigan as well. trump can run as much as he wants but trump won't win.

if you can't handle criticism or feedback from your employees you shouldn't be trying to create a marketplace of ideas

first fire of the season is underway

looks like there are weirdos on this site as well

@FastLearner I will do what I want but thank you for the unsolicited advice, whoever you are

donald trump was the inevitable culmination of American conservatism. elon musk is the inevitable culmination of American libertarianism. both just big piles of feces masquerading as ideology

@pratik@microblog.pratikmhatre.com I knew exactly which one you were referring to even before I clicked on it

gop: we need to do some soul searching about why we lost

everybody: it's because your party is full of mediocre performative fascists led by an election denier who attempted a violent coup

gop: we'll never know...
